From such a modest birth,
The
PLAIN
TRUTH has grown and grown. In No–
vember 1958, 175,000 were printed .
Circulation reached 210,000 by Janu–
ary 1960. and 400,000 just four and
one half years later. By August 1964,
the Ambassador College Press began
publication of
The
PLAIN TRUTH for the
first time on our own new web-fed
magazine press in our then newly en–
larged printing plant .
With the February 1965 issue,
The
PLAIN TRUTH stepped out with a spar·
kling, full-color cover .
Circulation began to soar. and the
1,000,000 mark was passed in July
1967; by August 1969 circulation dou–
bled again, and in 1973 total world·
wide circulation of
The
PLAIN TRUTH
passed three million monthly. The Am–
bassador College Press acquired a huge
Goss P-50 in November 1969, enabling
it to print upwards of 50.000 16-
page signatures of
The
PLAIN TRUTH
hourly.
In addition to millions of copies of
The
PLAIN TRUTH , the Work printed and
distributed seven million pieces of liter–
ature throughout 1973. The Ambassa–
dor College Press has grown to
incorporate three major plants: Pasa–
dena, California; Radlett, England; and
North Sydney, Australia, and a smaller
plant at Big Sandy, Texas.
